The Sesame Street Freak Show; Change.org Petitions for Marriage of Bert & Ernie

It now appears we have a solution in the effort to curb the sudden spike in LBGT youth suicide. That’s right, our friends at Change.org say if Bert & Ernie get married on Sesame St. we could make LBGT kids feel better about themselves and prevent the rampant homophobia of non-LBGT kid bullies in schools!

And if Elmo wasn’t already transgender enough for you, don’t worry; Change.org isn’t suggesting anything crude or disrespectful.

“We are not asking that Sesame Street do anything crude or disrespectful. Only that they allow Bert & Ernie to marry or even add a transgender character to the show.“

Sesame Street says:

“Bert and Ernie are best friends”

“Even though the Sesame Street Muppets…possess many human traits and characteristics, they have no sexual orientation.”
